Ricky Ponting , one of the finest captains in world cricket has decided not to play in IPL due to busy schedule of Australian Cricket. Its really a professional kind of thinking , preferring country first than money at IPL.

well my friend although you can say that it is his professional decision but if you ask me I feel it is more out of composition then professionalism that he opted out of the competition. Look at it from this angle you are getting a huge amount from a team to whom you have committed to play and suddenly you back out showing some reason. Although I do agree that his reason seems very genuine but then if you come to the reality he is going through a very bad form and I think if he would have played in this competition and if by chance he performed well then the media would have asked questions about his form is thus international cricket arena and in the club level arena. No wonder like a player not to perform for the country and to perform for a club for another country just as there is a lot of money. So I personally think his decision was more to act himself of rather than getting a corner by the media.
